Several weeks ago I began a short series on fascism and I'm going to make this statement again because this is why I want to emphasize this series and go through this and I have one or two lessons left on this because I want to repeat this statement because I'm convinced this is true in America. Most people would not recognize a fascist presidential candidate if they heard one or voted for one. So I'm asking in this study would Americans vote for a fascist candidate like Benito Mussolini. Mussolini, hailed by his compatriots as the genius of Italy, addresses half a million fascists from the Piazza del Duomo in Milan. Though his speech has caused a certain amount of comment abroad on account of its militaristic viewpoint, Il Duce's creed is accepted with enthusiasm in his own country, where unity of thought and action is the fundamental idea underlying the dictatorship. As we review and as we consider the different aspects of Benito Mussolini's rule in Italy, I wanna give you a list that I came across as I did a search online, just on my Brave browser, I typed in the question. What are the key elements that define a fascist ideology? I wanna go ahead and list these off just by way of review as we go into this last part of this series. First of all, authoritarianism. Fascist regimes tend to be authoritarian with a strong emphasis on central control and a lack of individual freedoms. I wanna emphasize that because that was one of the things I pointed out in our study of Mussolini's doctrines about fascism. Another element is nationalism. Fascist movements often emphasize a strong sense of national identity and a desire for national unity, which can involve the suppression of minority groups and the promotion of a dominant culture. Another element is militarism. Fascist regimes often have a strong emphasis on military power and the glorification of war. Another aspect of this, an element of fascist ideology is racism. This is similar to Adolf Hitler creating a master race. But I want you to consider something that we can see in our modern day is that they encourage a baby boom while placing abortion clinics in or near minority neighborhoods. That is a form of racism that I do not believe we consider. I want to emphasize this again, encouraging a baby boom while placing abortion clinics in or near minority neighborhoods, racism. Populism, fascist movements often appeal to the masses by promising to restore national greatness, promote economic prosperity, and protect traditional values. Something else about fascism, anti-communism. Fascist regimes often see communism as a threat and seek to suppress it through violence and repression, suppression of dissent, Fascist regimes often suppress dissent and opposition through violence, censorship, and propaganda. Economic nationalism. Fascist regimes often promote economic nationalism, which involves the protection of domestic industries and the promotion of national economic interests. Economic nationalism. Cult of personality. Fascist leaders often cultivate a cult of personality with a focus on their own charisma and leadership abilities. Use of propaganda. Fascist regimes often use propaganda to promote their ideology and suppress dissent. Suppression of labor unions and workers' rights. Fascist regimes often suppress labor unions and workers' rights, seeking to maintain control over the workforce and prevent workers from organizing. But I wanna point out something else on this, though, is that they will often say that they are the voice for workers' rights. Promotion of a single party or ideology. Fascist regimes often promote a single party or ideology, suppressing alternative viewpoints and opposition parties. Use of violence and intimidation. Fascist regimes often use violence and intimidation to maintain control and suppress opposition. And finally, promotion of a strong leader. Fascist regimes often promote a strong leader who is seen as the embodiment of the nation's values and ideals. I want to add these points as well as I've been doing some reading on fascism and study on this. First of all, cultural chaos is designed to drive people to the revolutionary political leader. I want you to consider the cultural chaos that we see in America today is designed, it's designed on purpose. You think about the anti-Israel, anti-Semite campus demonstrations. Those things often are starting off as peaceful protests. but there are ones who are, it's known to this to be true, there are those who have been paid to be agitators of those demonstrations, trying to stir up the violence in those things. Cultural chaos is designed to drive people to a revolutionary leader, a political leader, in this case, a fascist leader. Something else I wanna add to that list as well. Resistance to the leader further strengthens the loyalty of those who believe in the cause of the leader. I believe that's exactly what is happening with Donald Trump right now, originally with his indictments last year, his trials, and all of that. Those things are driving people to Donald Trump as a leader. I wanna emphasize something that Jesus said, and I mentioned this in one of the other studies. But in Mark 10, in relation to James and John, the sons of Zebedee, Mark 10, verse 35 and following, it says, they come unto Jesus, unto him saying, Master, we would that thou shouldest do for us whatsoever we shall desire. And he said unto them, what would ye that I should do for you? They said unto him, grant unto us that we may sit one on thy right hand and the other on thy left hand in thy glory. But Jesus said unto them, You know not what ye ask. Can ye drink of the cup that I drink of, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? And they said unto him, We can. Jesus said unto them, Ye shall indeed drink of the cup that I drink of, and with the baptism that I am baptized with, with all shall ye be baptized. But to sit on my right hand and on my left hand is not mine to give, but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared. And when the ten heard it, Notice they began to be much displeased with James and John. Why? Because they all wanted the same opportunity. They just did not approach Jesus about that first. But Jesus called them to him and saith unto them. Now, this is why I'm emphasizing this passage. Ye know that they which are accounted to rule over the Gentiles, the nations, exercise lordship over them, and their great ones exercise authority upon them. Again, you notice the statement that Jesus makes about this authoritarianism. But so shall it not be among you, but whosoever will be great among you shall be your minister, and whosoever of you will be the chiefest shall be servant of all. For even as the Son of Man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life and ransom for many. I want to give you some comparisons, as I've been doing some research on this, some comparisons between Mussolini and MAGA leader Donald Trump, first of all, claims to be a defender of the working class. Mussolini, as I pointed out in a previous lesson, was the son of a blacksmith. He appealed to the working class. He advocated for workman's rights after World War One. And he claimed that with this statement, mine is not a government which deceives the people. In reality, that's exactly what he did because the whole control of the working class, promoting of the working class was for production of the fascist regime. But he claimed to be the voice of the working class. Listen carefully to what Donald Trump said in relation to this very thing. Every day, I wake up determined to deliver a better life for the people all across this nation that have been ignored, neglected, and abandoned. I have visited the laid-off factory workers and the communities crushed by our horrible and unfair trade deals. These are the forgotten men and women of our country, and they are forgotten, but they're not going to be forgotten long. These are people who work hard, but no longer have a voice. I am your voice. Their reign is over. Their reign will be over. And they know it. And America will be a free nation once again. We're not a free nation right now. We don't have free press. We don't have free anything. In 2016, I declared, I am your voice. Today, I add, I am your warrior. I am your justice. And for those who have been wronged and betrayed, I am your retribution. I am your retribution. Not going to let this happen. I think it's interesting that a billionaire is claiming to be the voice of the working class. Not only are they claiming to be defender of the working class, second of all, there's promotion of healthcare and healthcare agenda. Mussolini said this, it is evident that in a well-ordered state, the care of the people's health ought to be of prime importance. He then also said, Infectious, or talked about, referred to infectious diseases from the Orient. I hope that sounds familiar. Listen carefully to Donald Trump's statement about that. Okay, why do you keep calling this the Chinese virus? There are reports of dozens of incidents of bias against Chinese Americans in this country. Your own aide, Secretary Azar, says he does not use this term. He says ethnicity does not cause the virus. Why do you keep using this? A lot of people say it's racist. It's not racist at all. No, not at all. It comes from China. That's why. It comes from China. I want to be accurate. I have great love for all of the people from our country. But as you know, China tried to say at one point, maybe they stopped now, that it was caused by American soldiers. That can't happen. It's not going to happen. Not as long as I'm president. It comes from China. The truth of the matter is, the whole coronavirus, COVID-19, was a globalist agenda, not from China. Donald Trump very clearly claimed to be father of the vaccine. The CDC is now saying they're concerned about a link to strokes in the vaccine. We've also seen significant spikes in COVID-19 deaths after countries introduced the COVID vaccines. We have these sudden death spikes as well. Look, I know you take credit for getting the vaccines to the American people in record time. I got that. Will you acknowledge now, though, that the COVID-19 vaccines were not as safe or effective as we were told by the medical community at the time? Well, what I did is, first of all, there were no mandates with me, and I had absolutely no mandates, and the governors were allowed to do what they want. Most Republican governors did the right thing, and most Democrat governors didn't, you know, with the lockdowns and all the other things they did, including their views of the vaccine. What I did, I was able to get something approved that, you know, has proven to save a lot of lives. Some people say I saved 100 million lives worldwide. But I was able to get that done in nine months versus five years to 12 years, if it ever got done. I got the FDA to do things that they, it was pretty amazing what we were able to do. But as far as using it, as far as the utilization, I never demanded anybody use it. I never had a mandate. And I think that's very important to know. And I never had anybody, for instance, when I said, you know, I never said close up. I never said we're gonna close our country up. A lot of Republicans, now Florida did close for a period of time, as you know, but a lot of states, a lot of states run by Republican governors didn't close at all. And that was okay with me. I let them make that decision. What about the safety aspect? That's what people are concerned about now. Do you have some concerns about the safety of these vaccines? Well, I always do, but you have to understand there are the pros and cons. If you could read some reports saying it was the greatest thing that's ever happened and we saved tens of millions of lives. Then you'll read other reports, you'll say there was some problems with the vaccines in terms of certain things, but relatively small numbers. But you know, you have many reports that say the vaccine saved tens of millions of lives, that without the vaccines, you wouldn't have, you know, you would have had a thing like we had in 1917, where perhaps a hundred million people died. In recent decades, there has been an unexplained and alarming growth in the prevalence of chronic illnesses and health problems, especially in children. We've seen a stunning rise in autism, autoimmune disorders, obesity, infertility, serious allergies, and respiratory challenges. It's time to ask, what is going on? Is it the food that they eat? The environment that we live in? The overprescription of certain medications? Is it the toxins and chemicals that are present in our homes? Every year we spend hundreds of billions of dollars to treat these chronic problems rather than looking at what is causing them in the first place. Too often, our public health establishment is too close to Big Pharma. They make a lot of money, Big Pharma, big corporations and other special interests, and does not want to ask the tough questions about what is happening to our children's health. If Big Pharma defrauds American patients and taxpayers or puts profits above people, they must be investigated and held accountable. When I'm back in the White House, I will establish a special presidential commission of independent minds who are not bought and paid for by Big Pharma, and I will charge them with investigating what is causing the decades-long increase in chronic illnesses. I understand Big Pharma, I believe, better than anybody else. I know where they're coming from. And then I will ask them to publish recommendations for how every American child can have a safe and healthy childhood. This is a conversation that is long overdue, and it's a conversation that American families deserve. American families must have this conversation, and they must have a leader, a president, who can do something about this problem. And I will do that. Thank you. It's also interesting, as I was doing some research on this, in Italy, I mentioned that there was a national agency for protection of maternity and infant welfare. There was also a tax on bachelors and childless marriages. Why? Because Mussolini was trying to promote a baby boom, and the reason for that, why he wanted a baby boom, is because foreign powers outnumbered them. So it's all about strengthening their military might. I remind you of something that Donald Trump said earlier this year. And I will ask Congress to support baby bonuses for young parents to help launch a new baby boom. Third, Mussolini emphasized municipal reform to better distribute the population. Mussolini reorganized municipal boundaries and created 17 new provinces in Italy. What he did also was very interesting. He dissolved small communities to better distribute the population. Mussolini emphasized that these communes were meant to implement government policies and maintain order. I want to remind you again of something that Donald Trump said earlier this year about freedom cities. Past generations of Americans pursued big dreams and daring projects that once seemed absolutely impossible. They pushed across an unsettled continent and built new cities in the wild frontier. They transformed American life with the Interstate Highway System. Magnificent it was. And they launched a vast network of satellites into orbit all around the Earth. But today, our country has lost its boldness. Under my leadership, we will get it back in a very big way. If you look at just three years ago, what we were doing was unthinkable, how good it was, how great it was for our country. Our objective will be a quantum leap. in the American standard of living. That's what will happen. Here are just a few of the ways we can do it. Almost one-third of the land mass of the United States is owned by the federal government, with just a very, very small portion of that land, just a fraction. One-half of 1 percent. Would you believe that? We should hold a contest to charter up to 10 new cities and award them to the best proposals for development. In other words, we'll actually build new cities in our country again. These Freedom Cities will reopen the frontier, reignite American imagination, and give hundreds of thousands of young people and other people All hardworking families, a new shot at home ownership, and, in fact, the American dream. Another big opportunity is in transportation. Dozens of major companies in the United States and China are racing to develop vertical takeoff and landing vehicles for families and individuals. Just as the United States led the automotive revolution in the last century, I want to ensure that America, not China, leads this revolution in air mobility. These breakthroughs can transform commerce, bring a giant infusion of wealth into rural America, and connect families and our country in new ways. Likewise, through our Strategic National Manufacturing Initiative, which is going to be very big and very, very successful, we will turn forgotten communities into hives of industry producing the goods we will no longer import from China. We will also have a major initiative on lowering the cost of living with a special focus on lowering the cost of a new car and lowering the cost to build a single family home. And they will be beautiful homes. These freedom cities are designed, are going to be designed, and they have been designed by the World Economic Forum to round up people into large population centers and to control them. Number four, a strengthened police force and military. I mentioned in a previous lesson, the Italian armed forces and a national police force. There's a reference to a Royal Police Corps. And Mussolini said that Royal Police Corps was one of the pillars of the fascist regime. I'm gonna play here two audios of statements from Donald Trump. and how obsessed he is with the police. Finally, I'll challenge the governors of all 50 states to join me in a great modernization and beautification campaign, getting rid of ugly buildings, refurbishing our parks and our public spaces, making cities and towns more livable, ensuring a pristine environment, and building towering monuments to our true American heroes. Very importantly, I will also make sure all of these new places are safe. We love and cherish our police. They will do the job the way they have to. It is time to start talking about greatness for our country again. I will dramatically increase living standards and build a future that brings our country together through excitement, opportunity, and success. Thank you very much. New York was under siege last night. And these people, first they were intense. And the person that heads up Columbia University was a great school. It's been, you know, badly damaged, I think, reputationally. But the person that heads it up, a woman, she waited so long. She was so weak. She was so afraid. She was so bad. They could have done this with the tents and it would have gone quickly and no problem. But they did an incredible job. They went into one of the big buildings, a beautiful landmark building. The police came in and in exactly two hours, everything was over. It was a beautiful thing to watch. New York's finest. To every college president, I say remove the encampments immediately, vanquish the radicals, and take back our campuses for all of the normal students who want a safe place from which to learn. As we think about the military, I want you to consider as far as this military expansion is emphasized in fascism. War equals revolution, no matter how many people die. Donald Trump has said in campaign speeches and so on that he did not start any new wars while he was president. Well, I want you to consider that as empty rhetoric as far as military expansion is concerned. Donald Trump, historically, this is on record. He dropped a record number of bombs on Iraq and Syria, Afghanistan, Yemen, Somalia, and Pakistan. More than all presidents before him. He stopped publishing the Air Power Summary after February, 2020, the last months while he was in office as president. Donald Trump has announced that there will be a place on our team in some form, that's a statement that he made, for Nikki Haley in his administration if he is reelected. Nikki Haley, here recently in May, visited the Israeli military near the border with Lebanon. She went to an artillery post. This was on the Tuesday after Memorial Day. I want you to think about something. Here's somebody who supposedly is standing up for America. And on Memorial Day, as they set aside for honoring fallen soldiers in America, she was in Israel defending Israel's military. And she wrote a statement on one of the bombs at that Israel military site. She wrote a statement on, basically, finish it, and signed her name to that bomb. I want you to consider how many are dying from those bombs. Military power, that's what it's all about in fascism. Thousands of women and children, civilians, have died with these bombs already. There's a question that I have, and I keep asking this question as far as American pastors. The question I have is this, how many American pastors have said the same things from pulpits that are designed for preaching the gospel? Finish them. America loves Israel always. That's the statement from Nikki Haley. American Christianity has embraced fascism, just like Roman Catholicism in Italy, just like Protestants in Germany accepted the Nazism of Adolf Hitler. And speaking of the military, listen to this statement that Donald Trump made regarding the military and its involvement with the vaccine. How do you get it out quickly? Well, when we have the vaccine, we have the military all lined up and the military is going to be doing it in a very powerful manner. These are people that don't usually do vaccines. They do soldiers and they do lots of other things that, frankly, are more difficult. But we have our general. And logistically, he's all set. Tony, do you want to say something about that? That is correct. As the vaccine rolls out, we'll be getting them distributed. And as you probably have heard, we are going to make sure that we do it in an equitable way. And it's representative of the populations who need it the most. And we have the standard way that we determine that. with the ACIP working with the CDC, but Dr. Collins and Dr. Redfield have put together with the National Academy of Medicine, a group that will fortify that decision-making process so that we're making sure that we're very fair and equitable in getting the vaccine distributed properly. As part of Operation Warp Speed, my administration's manufacturing all of the most promising vaccines in advance. And actually, it'll be fairly long in advance. As soon as a vaccine is approved, the administration will deliver it to the American people immediately. Distribution will begin within 24 hours. After notice, and the General, I think those are the words specifically you wanted us to use. Yes, Mr. President. Within 24 hours, you're all set to go, and massive amounts will be delivered through our great military. And the General is one of our best, and he is ready to go. We'll have manufactured at least 100 million vaccine doses before the end of the year, and likely much more than that. Hundreds of millions of doses will be available every month, and we expect to have enough vaccines for every American by April. And again, I'll say that even at that later stage, the delivery will go as fast as it comes. They can deliver. They're very good. Best, I think, probably the best in the world. Okay. We have all the people that are involved in the actual vaccine distribution here, but we were just going through this. As of the end of the year, we will have over 100 million doses manufactured. The people who are in the prioritized list, including high risk, including first responders, will have the ability to take the vaccine. No one's being mandated to be vaccinated at the latest in January. And as we said yesterday, or I think yesterday, there will be hundreds of millions of doses delivered for people to take it during the first quarter. And so that by April, every single American who wants to be vaccinated will have the ability to be vaccinated. It's not a forced vaccination, of course. So Donald Trump says, when we have the vaccine, we have the military all lined up and the military is going to be doing it in a very powerful way. In that context, it was also compared. The COVID vaccine distributed by the military was compared to the Manhattan Project that produced the atomic bomb. I think we need to wake up as Americans. America is a land of heroes. A place where greatness is born, where destinies are forged, and where legends come to life. This is the home of Thomas Edison and Teddy Roosevelt, of many great generals, including Washington, Pershing, Patton, and MacArthur. This is the home of Abraham Lincoln, Frederick Douglass, Amelia Earhart, Harriet Tubman, the Wright Brothers, Neil Armstrong, and so many more. This is the country where children learn names like Wyatt Earp, Davy Crockett, and Annie Oakley. This is the place where the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth, and where Texas Patriots made their last stand at the Alamo. The American nation was carved out of the vast frontier by the toughest, strongest, fiercest, and most determined men and women ever to walk on the face of the Earth. Our ancestors braved the unknown, tamed the wilderness, settled the Wild West, lifted millions from poverty, disease, and hunger, vanquished tyranny and fascism, ushered the world to new heights of science and medicine, laid down the railroads, dug out the canals, raised up the skyscrapers. Our ancestors built the most exceptional republic ever to exist in all of human history, and we are making it greater than ever before. This is our glorious and magnificent inheritance. We are Americans. We are pioneers. We are the pathfinders. We settled the New World. We built the modern world. And we change history forever by embracing the eternal truth that everyone is made equal by the hand of Almighty God. America is the place where anything can happen. America is the place where anyone can rise. And here, on this land, on this soil, on this continent, the most incredible dreams come true. This nation is our canvas, and this country is our masterpiece. We look at tomorrow and see unlimited frontiers just waiting to be explored. Our brightest discoveries are not yet known. Our most thrilling stories are not yet told. Our grandest journeys are not yet made. The American age, the American epic, the American adventure has only just begun. Our spirit is still young. The sun is still rising. God's grace is still shining. And my fellow Americans, the best is yet to come.
